Download Using ecological data and expert opinion to guide surveillance in wallaby management units outside of containment areas

Finding wallabies in areas outside the wallaby containment area is challenging and resource intensive. A cost-effective way to measure the likelihood of wallaby presence in these areas is the creation of grid-based risk maps. This research outlines the process in developing such maps that can be used to assist surveillance planning for both dama and Bennett’s wallabies in areas outside containment in mainland New Zealand.
